Now the fun stuff!
·         So much! I hope you will browse the web site http://snowmountainranch.org/
           but here are a few highlights:
·         Free activities: basketball, billiards, football, 25 yard heated indoor pool (w/ adult lap time, sauna, aquatic climbing wall, indoor roller rink, table tennis, zip line, volleyball, hiking horseshoes, miniature golf, playgrounds, miles of beautiful trails and more!
·         Other activities available for a fee:
Horseback riding, canoeing, craft shop, climbing wall, mountain biking, white water rafting and
more!

·         The town of Winter Park is 12 miles south and Gramby and Grandlake are within 20 miles of the ranch.  There is a large grocery store in Winter Park.

·         WEATHER: Winter Park’s summers are almost perfect: Not too hot, but just right. Most days are filled with sunshine, with some afternoons bringing clouds and possible rainstorms. Evenings are usually clear and cool. The average highs are 70-80 degrees.

·         One of the main advantages to this facility is that it's just about equally accessible to most of us. It's a reasonable drive for many or you can fly into Denver & then rent a car for the 2 hour drive to the ranch.
